Opinion in Poll
On War Problems
....A long awaited opportunity to express themselves on the present war
came to Carroll students on Friday,
October 20, when they voted in the
National Catholic College Poll conducted by the magazine, America.
Seventy-one of the students replied
to the questionnaire.
As to the entry of America into the
war as an armed force, opinion was
overwhelmingly in favor of isolation
with 66 voting to stay out, three
voting to get in, and two doubtful.
Opinion was more divided on the
second question—Do you believe U. S.
will eventually be drawn in? The
pessimists were in the majority on
this subject. Thirty-three voted "yes,"
23 voted "no," and 15 were doubtful.
Would American intervention in the
European war on the side of Great
Britain and France lead to the creation of a stable peace in Europe? Fifty-
seven thought that it would not, five
thought that it would, and eight were
doubtful.
Should there be a national referendum before the United States declares
war and pledges to send American
soldiers to engage in a European war.
Yes—53; no—14, and doubtful—four.

would enter the war and proposed to
send armed forces to Europe, the last

GLASSES COMMENCE
IT COLLEGE OCT 19
Carroll's aviation program, established in conjunction with the Federal
Civil Aeronautics authority, commenced Thursday evening, October 19,
with Dr. E. W. Neuman and Dr. B.
J. Topel of the faculty in charge of
classes which were attended by 11
regular Carroll students and three
audit students.
Classes in ground school instruction, which are to be held at the
college, will incluude the history of
aviation, civil air regulations, navigation, meteorology, parachutes, flight
theory, engines, aircraft, instruments
and radio. It is planned to run the
course two hours a week in the evenings to make it possible for Helena
people interested in aviation to audit
the course. Plans are being completed
for actual flight instruction.
Eleven students have passed the
rigorous medical entrance exams and
are qualified to take the course. They
are Paul Choquette, Charles Harrell,
Milton Johnson, Frank Keim, Raynor
Roberts, and Calvin Samson, all of
Helena; Jean Maillet and Karl Mueller
of Butte; Dan McCarthy of Townsend;
Lawrence McCarty of Laramie, Wyo.,
and Francis Murphy of Powell, Wyo.
Inasmuch as the college is allowed a
maximum of 10 students, one of this
number will have to be dropped before
flight training begins under the supervision of Red Morrison.
Helena people not enrolled at the
college are permitted to audit the
ground school instruction at a fee of
$16 for the entire course. However,
those taking the course under these
conditions will not be given any flight
instruction and will not be granted
any license or certificate at the completion of the classes.
question asked whether the voter
would volunteer, wait to be conscripted, or be a conscientious objector. Thirteen would volunteer, 25
would wait to be conscripted, and
another 23 would prefer to be conscientious objectors.
ASSUMES DUTIES AT
GREATjALLS POST
On Thursday, October 26, high
church officials and laymen assembled in Great Falls, Mont., for the
impressive religious and civic ceremonies of the installation of the Most
Rev. William J. Condon as Bishop
of the Great Falls diocese succeeding
the Most Rev. Edwin V. O'Hara who
last spring was transfrred to Kansas
City, Mo. Bishop Condon was consecrated in Spokane, Wash., in the Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes.
Carroll College was represented at
both the consecration and installation
ceremonies by the Very Rev. Emmet
J. Riley, President of the college.
Among the numerous other church
officials present were Bishop O'Hara,
Bishop White of Spokane, and Bishop
Gilmore of Helena.
Mt Ascension to
Be Crowned With
Large Carroll V
It was announced last Monday by
Stanley Marks, president of the student council, that after a long series
of negotiations with the forest service
and local officials that official permission has finally been granted to
change the "I" on Mt. Ascension to a
"C." The student council is rushing
plans to have the job completed before the game in Butte with the
School of Mines Armistice Day.
Changing the "I" to "C" has long
been a favorite project of the student
council. Ever since the Helena earthquakes in 1935 forced Intermountain
College to move away, the council has
been seeking the permission to make
the change. Situated in a clearing
near the top of Mt. Ascension, the "C"
be plainly visible in all parts of the
city.
Although it has not been definitely
set, the date for the work will be
announced sometime in the very near
future. Considerable work has to
be done with the task of clearing
additional ground, collecting and
whitewashing the rocks, and laying
out a letter that will be symmetrical
only a few of the tasks to be done.
All students at the college will be
expected to appear at the job in order
that it may be done well.
Students Observe
Traditional Mass
The present school year was officially opened on October 5 with the
Mass of the Holy Ghost in the college
chapel. The entire student body attended. Father Riley, President of
Carroll College, offered the Mass and
delivered the sermon.
In addressing the students, Father
Riley emphasized the purpose of the
college's beloved founder, Bishop Carroll, to develop men to their full capacity physically, intellectually, and
morally. He welcomed the new stu-

FOR VICTORY OVER NORMAL
Simonich Reports Squad in Prime Condition
To Combat Dillon Bulldogs
All preparations have been completed for what is hoped will
be Carroll's first home football victory since her return to intercollegiate athletics in 1936 when tomorrow evening at 8 p. m. a
spirited crew of Fighting Saints will meet the Dillon Normal
eleven on the turf under the lights of Vigilante field. ..Bouyed by
their upset of the strong Billings Polytechnic team, both the team
and the student body are enthusiastic over Carroll's chances to
win the Dillon Normal game and go on to the first championship
in seven years.
■♦■ Carroll's 13-0 win over Billings Poly
October 14 has supplied the confidence
and squad morale needed for more
wins. Coach Simonich has been much
encouraged by the progress of his
squad in the past two weeks and expects to have the group in their best
condition when they march out on
the field tomorrow evening.
Practice has been going on steadily
each evening with the team showing
no lack of interest whatsoever and a
firm determination not only to trounce
the Normal aggregation, but to capture
the Montana small college conference
championship as well.
Having played no game in two
weeks, the Hilltoppers will be thoroughly rested and more than raring to
go. No player has suffered any serious injuries which may hamper the
team's playing ability.

PROGRAM WILL FEATURE
MASS, BANQUET AND

Another Carroll tradition will be
revived Saturday, November 4, when
Carroll students, faculty members and
friends will celebrate the feast of the
patron saint of the college, St. Charles
Borromeo. The program for the day,
as announced by Dr. E. J. Riley, President of Carroll, will include Pontifical
High Mass in St. Charles chapel in the
morning, the annual frosh-upperclass
football game in the afternoon, and the
banquet in the college dining hall in
the evening.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Fr.
Riley will celebrate the Mass in honor
of St. Charles. Assisting in the mass
will be Rev. J. J. O'Conner, deacon;

L IS ACTIVE
DURING PAST MONTH
Extra curricular activities were
pushed forward at a rapid pace during
the month of October in an effort to
wind up all outdoor activities before
disagreeable weather becomes a handicap.
The tennis tournament is fast drawing to a close with Bob Barnes, Helena
ace, having worked his way into the
finals early last week when he defeated Jerry Casey. His opponent has
not yet been determined as the other
bracket has gone only as far as the
semi-final stage.
The second student council dance
was held October 20 in the K. C. Hall
with an exceedingly large crowd attending. Council members are investigating the possibility of obtaining a
larger dance floor to prevent the unpleasantness of overcrowding.
It is hoped that a large enough
crowd of football fans can be obtained
to make it possible to charter a
special bus to Butte on Armistice Day
for the game with the Montana School
of Mines, the last game of Carroll's
season and possibly the deciding game
in the Montana Small College Conference championship race. Judging
by the enthusiasm shown by the student body this year, this should not
be difficult, and there is little doubt
but what the Fighting Saints will find
many loyal rooters to cheer them on
to victory.
